Hi!

While this will allow most R5xx users to already move away from
shadowFB, it is still not as fast as it could be :) For instance, EXA
doesn't have accelerated (DMAed) up or download yet, but i hope to make
this happen soon.

So please give it a spin, and report problems asap :)

It works without any issues on my system:
0x71D5:0x1043:0x1242 M66-P [Mobility Radeon X1700], i686 GNU/Linux


But the XAA (and especially EXA) are slow - for EXA, at 1440x900 resolution,
after minimizing full-screen Konsole, the redrawing of icons on the desktop
takes about 1 second. Jerky dragging of window by its titlebar also displays
redrawing artifacts (ShadowFB has them too, but it is faster - "Konsole
minimization test" :) passes OK ).

The top by speed is:
1) ShadowFB
2) XAA
3) EXA

Let me know if you need some real tests to be done (and how to do them).

Best regards, Kirill
